'Milkshakes' by Frederik Storm
Music by: Simon Jonas Larsen (soundcloud.com/simon-jonas-larsen)
Director, animator, and stuff maker: Frederik Storm (frederikstorm.com)
Co-Editor and stuff maker: Sophie Refshauge (woolypolygon.com)
Horse Clap animator: Frederik Troels-Smith (frederiktroelssmith.tumblr.com)
"What started as a fun animation experiment ended up as a full fleshed 3:50 minutes music video, based on a track by Simon Jonas Larsen. Being more of an abstract piece, the running theme throughout is the hard working horse who has a mental meltdown at work, which results in some rather strange hallucinations.
The looks which draws from the work of animator David O’reilly made it possible to create a lot of content in a very short time, while still having something that felt interesting and fresh.
The project was directed by Frederik Storm, who also edited, designed, animated and build the assets. He had help from Sophie Refshauge Møller, who was co-editor and also created and came up with ideas for shots. Finally Frederik Troels-Smith, did the horse clap animation in the end."

The 12 Principles of Animation
The 12 Principles of Animation as described by Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston in their book “The Illusion of Life”. Since it can be hard for starting animators to find resources, and the resources that are out there don’t go very in depth, Alan Becker decided to start a video series dedicated to each of the 12 Principles of Animation!
1. Squash & Stretch
2. Anticipation
3. Staging
4. Straight Ahead & Pose to Pose
5. Follow Through & Overlapping Action
6. Slow In & Slow Out
7. Arcs
8. Secondary Action
9. Timing
10. Exaggeration
11. Solid Drawing
12. Appeal

'Pacer' - The First Hyperlapse Ever Made
"Pacer" can lay claim to being the first hyperlapse film. It was shot on a Bolex 16mm camera and all the "effects" were done in-camera. The film's original negative was destroyed in it's one and only printing in 1995. The only print of the film was carefully transferred to 2K digital in 2014 and painstakingly remastered in early 2015.
The word "hyperlapse" has been getting tossed around a lot lately. But what exactly makes a hyperlapse, well, hyper? And why do they look so good? This video might help.
